To every nation on the globe Proyi-

serve as beasts of burden to the people
and materially aid in gaining their live

the OK and the mule are colaborers with
mankind in their struggle through life;
the Laplander and Esquimaux, bundled
in skins and comfortably seated on their
sledges, flourish their long whips over
the heads of the reindeer or pack of
yelping dogs, who, straining in their
primitive harness, fly swiftly over the
frozen crest of the snow or the dark blue
line Of ice that marks the course of the
rivers.
On the burning sands of Arabia the

and sagacity Of the most uncOuth of ami

countrymen who are familiar with this
beast only as it is exhibited from time to

this most valuable creature is put, and
the amount of service he renders, not on

to the world at large, seems almost in

UNITED PRESBYTERIANS

The Appeal Of an Iowa Church for the AHol-
ishing of Instrumental Music not Sustained
PHILADELPHIA, May 31.-The general
assembly of the United Presbyterian
church of North America continued its
session here to day. The general com
mittee on home missions presented its
report in the course of which 1t said one
of two things must be done. Either our
mission work must DO much contracte
or the gifts of the church must at once
be greatly increased. The outlay of six,
ty thousand dollars cannot be met with
an income OF forty thousand dollars.
The report on church extension was
discussed at some length and favorably
acted upon. During the discussion the
question of instrumental music came up
again, and there were some rather caustic
debates. DR.. Carson finally presented a
resolution that mo part of the money ap
propriated in this report shall be ex-
pended in any congregation which is
known TO use instrumental music in CON
nection with the worship of God" The
vote was, for instrumental music, 1872;
against it, IS.
DIR. Carson read protest against the
action of the assembly and several mem
bers signifed their intention of signing
it. The last Sunday of June is named to
be observed as missionary day by the
Sunday schools and the third day of Oc-
tober as a day of prayer for Sunday
schools. Rev. j. A. Monteith of the first
church of Cedar Rapids Iowa, invited the
general assembly to hold its next ses-
sion at that place, and the invitation was
accepted. Davenport Iowa, was chosen
as the place Of meeting of the board of
mission.
PHILADELPHIA, June Another long
debate on the music question occupied
the general assembly OF the United Pres
byterian church to-day. The direct cause
of the issue was the use of the organ, by
Rev. j. 4. Tates church, at Keokuk, Iowa,
to which objection had been made first to
the local Presbyterian and then to the
synod of Iowa. In each case the body
declined to interfere. An appeal
was finally made to the assembly
and the committee TO whom the
matter was referred that the pro-
hibitory law forbidding the use of in
strumental music in the worship of God
had been repealed and this leaves the
sessions at liberty to introduce such
music as they may deem wise and profit
able. Therefore there is no legal ground
for action and the appeal is not sus-
tanned

Society in America.

New Orleans flCaY une
1t is safe to say that society in America
is not made up of classes, but of indi-
viduals, who have been brought into as
ISOLATION by various causes and for va
riety of reasons. This is society, and
whatever may be the estimate it holds of
itself, its character and standing before
the world at large must depend wholly on
the behavior of its members. II is right
enough that society should keep strict
watch over the morals and qualifications
of those who desire to enter its doors,
but we repeat that its censorship must
apply TO individuals rather than TO
classes.
